LSU-Alabama preview

The first College Football Playoffs rankings were announced earlier this week.

LSU came in at No. 15 – on the wrong side of the bubble for the 12-team CFP. However, the Tigers are certainly in position to reach the playoffs. In fact, LSU remains in the race to reach the Southeastern Conference championship game and earn one of the four automatic berths to the playoffs.

The path to a playoff spot for LSU is quite simple.
